Waves

We ran barefoot through the fields Always straying from the pack Dipped our toes in lacquered shoes Now there's no way of going back To the open arms of summer Salty pearls we let them dry Slowly poisoned by the handshakes As they firm as time goes by You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher, higher I'm finding that it's hard to pass the time Where am I to head if I won't climb Ambition's golden ladder And even when I set myself a goal Another generation's in control Ambition doesn't matter You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher, higher We ran barefoot through the fields Always straying from the pack Dipped our toes in lacquered shoes Now there's no way of going back Spilling out between our fingers If you squeeze me I'll hold still Like you're pulling up the hand break I'm connected to your will You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher You seem to ride the waves that pull me under Whatever brings me down lifts you higher higher I'm finding that it's hard to pass the time Where am I to head if I won't climb Ambition's golden ladder And even when I set myself a goal Another generation's in control Ambition doesn't matter
